For Charles David Moody, construction “is not just a brick and mortar
business, it is first a people business.” To that understanding Moody
has added a high ethical operating standard to build a 16-year-old construction
firm with 35 employees and a consistent revenue growth rate of 12 percent.
He believes that the success of the firm is tied to employees’ ability
to manage bigger projects, lead more people, and work outside of their comfort
zone. Thus, the firm provides training for employees, gives them books such
as Jim Collins’ “Good to Great”, and brings them together
for regular forums where he asks for employee opinions on ways to grow and
enhance the business. Similarly, clients find that he is one of the few
contractors that communicates with them regularly and follows up to make
certain that details are handled properly. His focus is on building a company
that makes a real difference in employees’ lives and in the community.
